I'm just going to make a point, in my opinion, of course. I don't think WIFI is a big deal or the USB because I think many people should have something like a blu-ray with wifi, a PS3 (wifi built in), Xbox 360 (wifi built in on new ones), Apple TV etc....especially on a TV this size.

Ya, love having USB on my 51" samsung. I have an external hard drive that I ripped my movie collection to and can watch them all via the usb port. It's an invaluable feature.

I agree 100%. A buddy and I were just taking about features that are more practicle. And he agrees as well. Heck a TV with a least 4 USB, I can get into.
Funny how to increase the price of TVs today, the manufacturers are adding stuff like 3D and "smart TV" which to me doesn't make practical sense yet.
Funny how he said he picked up a Samsung with 3D, paid for it, but has yet to utilize it or has no plans to use it. By the time he or his kids get aroud to the idea of checking it out the technology changes and the price drops.
Reminds me of people buying HDTV "capable" and "ready" several years ago but there was not broadcast of HDTV content. By the time the networks got around to it, prices were adjusted accordingly.

Yeah but I do this same thing with a dynex blu ray wifi player with usb port that I got black friday 2011 for $35 bucks.. same stuff

Don't you have to have the media player feature built into the tv for that to happen?

That to me is where the true modern technology of TVs should be doing. No different than a PC. Just a chip and the licensing to play back content (DivX, Xvid, H264 , mkv...etc).
Torrents are out there. Just download what you want (or rip what you have) and put them all on a large capacity USB or external and sit back. Sort of like having a jukebox in your TV. Love it.
